Release Date

Why is it being released so late at night, why cant they release it at 12:01 the 30th?

because steam has always been operating that way, make informed purchase and don't complain if you don't inform yourself from where you are buying, and if other retailers releases it the minute it hits release day why not buy from them if you dont like how steam is run ?

Again, Steam is the only digital retailer.

He doesnt seem to get it does he?

then they should buy from physical retailers, nobody forces them to buy digital

Whenever I make a purchase on any other retailer, American or not, they release at the minute it hits release day, why should not question it?

I'm very well informed as to when it should be releasing, it should be at midnight on the 30th, its not me who is uninformed, besides, even if I bought the game physically, guess who would still stop me from playing until the same time as digital? You should have enough brain cells to figure that out

it's not about them dragging you down, you decided to make a purchase from an american compagny, deal with it, if you want release date from your country buy from digital retailers from your country, you made the choice of buying a game from a compagny that isn't in your time zone you have only yourself to blame

I bought from Green Man Gaming which, as far as I am aware, is based in England. I will still have to wait until 6pm GMT tomorrow to play it.

Yet a physical PC release will also be locked until 6PM. The point is that WHERE we buy the game is irrelevant - if you want it on PC, you're waiting until 6PM.
I don't care, personally, but you seem to be missing his point.

You dont seem to understand the logic behind this. It doesnt matter if you buy from a shop thats located next to you now. You still cant play the game.

game is a global release for steam, if you need to activate it trough steam then you should inform yourself as when steam releases the game not when you think it should be released, if you want midnight releases go console

At what point did I say that? I didn't, so be quiet.

That doesn't matter. No matter where we buy it from we still have to wait until 6PM. NO. MATTER. WHERE.

Buy the game a day after the release. Problem solved. Or are you suggesting that the game gets released just for you slightly earlier than anyone else just so you get to play the game a little longer on the first day?

Oh stop. You were wrong, let it go. You've been going on about buying from local retailers and not AMERICAN ones - yet that's irrelevant.

Your original comment should simply have been - buy it on console if you want it earlier, otherwise you have to wait. Location of retailer is absolutely irrelevant.

Steam should release the game, guess when? WHEN THE GAME IS MEANT TO, not 18 hours after the game should have officially released, I shouldn't have to wait around because a company thinks a global release date is unfair unless nobody gets to play it until they do.

No not 6pm gmt people keep saying that. its 5pm gmt

ALL. KEYS. FOR. THE. GAME. ARE. STEAM. KEYS. It doesn't matter where the game is bought from. That's completely irrelevant.

i wasn't wrong, if every retailer sells you steam keys or need a steam activation then it's your duty as a customer to know it, not complain after buying it
